Alan Watts (1915-1973) Life and Works here. From this lecture: "Technology if it relies exclusively on linear thinking is going to destroy the environment. It will lead to extinction. Are we going to foul things up by insisting on using liniear input information and controlling it as the dominent tool of controlling the world or can we master all that (as we have done) and still use it, but with a fundamental trust in our power to assimilate multiple input although we really don't know how we do it.
